HOIST ROPES

Mobile cranes, ideal for indoor use. The mobile jib crane can lift loads ranging from 150 kg to 500 kg with a radius of action of around two metres. The mobile jib crane can be moved by means of all-terrain wheels, which allow it to move on any type of ground. The most commonly used model is the mobile jib crane with a triangular boom with a hollow profile that adapts to workshop conditions.

Drum cranes are the most common cranes, especially in the industrial sector. This type of crane is designed to move very heavy loads of up to several tonnes. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The jib crane is fixed with chemical anchors or with anchor rods and concrete blocks. The jib cranes are available with a triangular or inverted jib with a rotation range of 270° to 360° and a reach of up to 9 metres.

The wall-mounted jib cranes are equipped with a triangular or inverted jib, which reduces the headroom. The wall-mounted jib crane has the option of being motorised or manual with a 180° rotation. The wall-mounted jib cranes are suitable for individual use and avoid clutter in the work area. The lifting capacity of this type of jib crane ranges from 150kg to 4 tonnes with a standard reach of up to 8000mm.

To choose the right jib crane for your lifting application, you need to:

Know the environment in which you want to install your jib crane. This will allow you to choose between a fixed jib crane, a mobile jib crane or a wall-mounted jib crane.

Know the load you wish to lift with the crane. The weight will allow you to choose the necessary lifting capacity.

Know the maximum height and reach required to lift the load.

Know the type of jib crane you want : you can choose between an electric jib crane or a manual jib crane.

A design office is at your disposal to meet your lifting needs for your cranes and gantries. The design office will draw up an estimate according to your request. For further information, please contact our customer service.

There are several types of ropes depending on your use:

Galvanised hoisting ropes and stainless steel cables with small diameters (7x7 or 7x19) are generally used in the fields of architecture or professional zip lines. The larger diameter (6x25) traction ropes are designed for winches and for skidding.

For overhead cranes and other uses such as slings, wire ropes have a larger diameter (8x19 for overhead cranes and 6x36 or 6x37 for slings).

How to choose your wire rope ?

To choose your lifting rope, you generally need to know the type of equipment (cranes, hoists, winches, jib cranes, etc.), the use of the rope, the diameter of the drum and the number of strands on which the rope works. Before starting any work, you must ensure that the diameter of the rope chosen meets the requirements of your installation.

Our lifting and handling workshops can manufacture your ropes tailor-made. They can also produce skidding slings. We offer a wide range of standard ropes, stainless steel ropes, high performance ropes, special ropes and rope accessories.

Never forget to check your lifting cable regularly. The AFNOR E52-402 standard recommends a daily visual inspection of your rope to determine deterioration and deformation. It is possible that, after several uses, there is wear of broken wires, distortion of the strands, elongation of the pitch or even the appearance of rust. Periodic checks can be carried out in our workshops to ensure that the ropes are safe to use for lifting. Please store your hoisting ropes in a dry place, away from the ground or other steel parts.
